Question

Select two netiquette guidelines. In a paragraph of no less than 125 words, explain why these guidelines make professional online communication more effective.

Answer 1

Respect others.

This means that it is important to make sure that your interactions with other internet users are based on respect for each other's resources. This includes time, bandwidth, and even emotions. Ensure that the information you are sharing is of value to the intended recipients and is sent in a timely manner. Treat other online users as you'd have them treat you.

Visualize your online conversations as you would real life conversations. Avoid being offensive and be accommodating of other peoples shortcomings. Also keep in mind who is part of the forum you are interacting with so as to use appropriate language.
